Course Description
This course provides an overview of psychology and Intelligent Technology (IT), including how the human brain produces intelligent behaviour and more importantly how the understanding of human intelligence would help to create intelligent machines. To this end, we will introduce how human intelligence emerges from computations at neural circuit level in multiple systems, such as visual system for vision, motor system for movement control and limbic system for emotions, with rigor sufficient to reproduce similar intelligent behaviour in machines.
